Tax & Licensing

Occupational Tax Certificate renewals are typically mailed in November and are due on or before January 1st. Penalties are applied begining April 15th and accrue on a monthly basis until renewed. During the COVID-19 pandemic, please email your renewal forms to kledford@cityofblueridgega.gov and pay online here. We understand that the notary requirement may be difficult during this time, therefore, continue to email your forms unnotarized and Ms. Ledford will reach out to you to schedule the paper notarization when things get back to normal. If you are unable to follow this process, you may mail your renewal forms and payment to 480 West First Street, Blue Ridge, Ga. 30513.
